MEASUREMENT & MONITORING
Fiber Optic Temperature Measurement Solution for Medical and General Lab Applications
Advanced Energy ’ s Luxtron ® m924 fiber optic temperature sensor for medical and general research applications offers temperature ranges of -100 to 330 º C
Various medical systems and research applications require the most reliable and highly accurate monitoring of a wide range of temperatures . Fiber optic temperature sensors ( FOT ) are particularly useful in providing such monitoring in applications and environments such as magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) and radio frequency ( RF ) implantable medical device testing where it may not be possible to deploy more conventional electronic measurement methods .
Designed for systems that need precise and repeatable in-situ temperature measurements for control of processes involving RF , EMI , magnetic fields and high voltages , the Luxtron ® m924 module uses FluorOptic ® technology , based on a temperature-sensitive phosphorescent sensor attached to the end of an optical fiber . The complete m924 OEM solution consists of the electronics module assembly , Luxtron ® probes and accessories . The small and rugged non-metallic and electrically non-conductive FOT probes are immune to EMI and voltages that adversely affect conventional sensors , such as thermocouples , RTDs and thermistors . By using material of minimal thermal conductance , these probes measure temperature on minute samples without perturbing or heat sinking the sample .
